10 of 10 of my Christmas candy recipes. My brother-in-law has narcolepsy, an illness where you randomly fall asleep during day-to-day activities. I'm not lying, he can fall asleep standing up - we rib him about it a little, but we try to be accommodating. Read more As a result, he can't have much alcohol, because it makes him really sleepy. These were a special request of his, so he could taste a hint of rum, but not suffer the after-effects. I found a bunch of recipes for rum balls, combined my favorite things out of each one and I came up with what we all thought was a pretty good rum ball. Enjoy! See less
